techUK Electrification Working Group planning session
10am – 11.30am7 December 2022
Online
In 2023, techUK will launch a new working group focussed on the electrification of transport.
The Electrification Working Group (EWG) will bring together companies in transportation, energy, infrastructure, and digital services to consider what is needed to enable mass electrification and secure our energy future.
The EWG intends to look beyond personal EVs. It will consider the role of heavier and specialist vehicles, as well as other modes of mobility including marine, aviation and rail. It will attempt to demonstrate what a truly integrated and multi-modal charging infrastructure should look like and identify the current gaps in policymaking, regulation and planning.
This workshop is for any techUK member interested in helping shape this work from first principles. We are interested to hear your view on how the EWG can make a meaningful contribution to the sector and support the transition to an electrified future.
A briefing sheet will be circulated to registered participants two weeks before the workshop.
